KUALA LUMPUR — The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has warned of thunderstorm activity expected across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak during evening hours.
The department advised the public to prepare for potential hazards associated with severe weather conditions, including sudden downpours and gusty winds that could affect outdoor activities and travel. Thunderstorms of this nature are common during the monsoon transition periods and can develop rapidly with little warning.
MetMalaysia recommended that residents monitor official weather updates and exercise caution in areas prone to flash flooding. Motorists are urged to exercise extreme care on roads during the warning period, while those planning outdoor activities should consider rescheduling until weather conditions improve.
The alert forms part of MetMalaysia's ongoing effort to provide timely warnings to the public ahead of adverse weather. The department maintains continuous monitoring of atmospheric conditions and issues updates as situations develop across the country's regions.
